KYIV – Ukraine’s only English-language television channel, UATV, has stopped broadcasting. “Ukrainian international state broadcaster UATV will cease the production of news and satellite broadcasting, starting from January 13, 2020,” UATV said in a news release.
As a result, several of the English language news presenters bid farewell to their jobs and to their viewers around the world. Its last broadcast was on January 12.
In the beginning of the year, the government in Kyiv decided to shut down international broadcasting and to close its Crimean Tatar, Arabic and English-language departments.
